It's strange that some peeps have a belief that free equals bad. Some of the best books I've read have been freebies, such as "Black Silk" by Janet Gordon (JanG). I'm waiting with bated breath for her next offering.
Would you, for example, class the Sony freebies as necessarily badly written, or examples of shrewd marketing?
I agree that a few free books are unremittingly awful, but this is easy to discern after reading the first few pages. I forced myself to finish one truly bad book from Smashwords so that I could write a vitriolic review in my "book reviews" folder!
